I'm thinking my original owner decided to save himself some cash when he installed this rear sway bar. I'm not sure if I should be thankful that he bothered to reinforce the trunk or pissed that he drilled holes to bolt some plates in.

Isn't it bad (like poor handling) to run a rear sway bar without a front? haven't I seen people recommend the opposite (a front and no rear)? There is no front bar, so I'm thinking I may just pull this whole thing off.

that rear sway bar set up looks good to me. the bushings are worn and loose but they are common. autozone sells red urethane replacememnts

i do not recommend running a rear with no front unless you have some bigger front torsions.

this aint no parrot job here sonny. soft front and stiff rear is a tragedy waiting to happen. I try to help when I can and my primary concern is for your safety.
